A More Complex Excel Bar Chart


- We gave ourselves some space in our spreadsheet for a reason. Where the pie chart used to be, we're going to arrange our TV data in a different order.
Add the following data to your spreadsheet:
Add this data to your spreadsheet
That might be a bit small to see, but the numbers are just the viewing figures for ITV and BBC 1. The P1, P2, etc, means Position 1, Position 2, and so on. The highest viewing figure is under P1 and the lowest under P10
A quick way to copy all the numbers over, instead of having to type them out all over again, is to do this:
  • Highlight the ITV numbers
Highlight the ITV data
  • From the menu bar, click Edit
  • From the drop down menu, select Copy
  • Highlight P1 to P10 of the ITV Row
Highlight the row
  • From the menu bar, Click Edit again
  • From the drop down menu, click Paste Special
  • The following dialogue box pops up
Paste Special dialogue box
  • Put a tick in the box at the bottom, next to "Transpose"
  • Click the OK button
  • Your numbers will all be pasted over to the ITV Row
  • Do the same for the BBC1 numbers

When you have added the new data to your spreadsheet, you can move on to Project Three. Because that's the end of the excel charts section. The next section is all about formulas.

The Excel SumIF Function  - Another useful Excel function is SumIF. This function is like CountIf, except it adds one more argument: SUMIF( range ,  criteria ,  sum_range ) Range and criteria are the same as with  CountIF  - the range of cells to search, and what you want Excel to look for. The Sum_Range is like range, but it searches a new range of cells. To clarify all that, here's what we'll use SumIF for. (Start a new spreadsheet for this.) Five people have ordered goods from us. Some have paid us, but some haven't. The five people are Elisa, Kelly, Steven, Euan, and Holly. We'll use SumIF to calculate how much in total has been paid to us, and how much is still owed. So in Column A, enter the names: In Column B enter how much each person owes: In Column C, enter TRUE or FALSE values. TRUE means they have paid up, and FALSE means they haven't: Add two more labels: Total Paid, and Still Owed. Your spreadsheet should look something li...
